  1. How can I import new fonts? I use to have a lot, but now I only have standard fonts. I paid for them so it would be a waste of money if I can’t import or use them anymore. They are uploaded on my iPad and it used to work, but not anymore.

    I also don’t like it that if I select the text box, I have to tap it for every new text box. It always goes back to the lasso tool.

  5. When filming live, white backgrounds are too bright and interfere with the live stream, so I want to invert white to black.
    Leave other colors unchanged.

  6. Need to change back to the way it was before the latest update. Drawing straight lines became really ******. The text box sucks big time. Text box before and how you saved the text box settings was way better before. I do like the drawing arrow features. The way it jumps automatically from text box to lasso sucks big time. I use goodnotes a lot at work (electrician) and ive been pushing more and more people to start using goodnotes in the past. But if this continues the way it is, i highly cant recommend people to jump on goodnotes.…

  7. Please create the option to turn off auto connection of connector lines to pre-defined shapes drawn with the shape tool. I understand this was designed for diagramming but I am picky about my notes being neat, organized, and symmetrical so I really like using this tool to draw my own figures as well as perfect arrows/shapes. However, the auto connect makes it very frustrating and annoying to use because my lines are redirected to connect to nearby shapes and there is no way of detaching them to still draw the lines where I need them to go. They cannot even…

  8. I tried the new timer tool and I like that I can see the time passing at the top but it doesn’t make any sound when the timer ends. I think it shows a message at the top but if I’m involved in different apps or in books and I’m not looking I miss it.

    The timer should make a sound, an alert that tells me time is up.

  10. GoodNotes is great, and I really like the audio recording feature. However, right now, recordings are only displayed as a list within the note, and their names are set by default and cannot be customized. This makes it hard to associate specific recordings with the content of the notes. My lecture notes are often very long (over 300 pages), and after some time, I have no idea which recording corresponds to which section of the notes. I hope GoodNotes can support a feature where a recording can be dragged or inserted directly into the document and displayed as an icon…

  11. When duplicating a notebook, the internal links should be automatically updated. Currently, you're redirected to the original notebook. It's very time-consuming to have to update each link individually, for example, in an annual planner.

  12. actually I use baidu cloud instead of iCloud, so it is very important for me that if it has other choices to synchronize my notes, especially if there is a choice that I can synchronize to Baidu cloud.

  13. Integrating Apple Intelligence alongside GoodNotes’ own AI features would enhance productivity and create a seamless workflow for users. While GoodNotes offers rewriting and correction tools, Apple Intelligence can complement these by providing faster, system-wide text improvements and edits. Users would still value and continue using the paid version, as GoodNotes’ unique AI capabilities and other premium features remain essential, making the app even more compelling overall.

  14. Hello Goodnotes Team,
    First of all, thank you for the amazing app. I use it daily, and it really improves my medicine study routine.
    I’d like to suggest a new feature for the highlighter tool:
    When I draw a highlight over text, Goodnotes could automatically detect the height of the text (based on the difference between two points) and adjust the highlighter size to match it.
    This would make the highlighting process much smoother, since I wouldn’t need to manually select the thickness each time. It could work similarly to how text selection already detects line height, but applied to…

  15. I would like to be more specific in what I share over a screen. It would be great to have a Window in my file, especially now with the whiteboards, to Zoom in on an area and drag and drop in Items from outside the view of the shared screen. It's like in the App "Whiteboard Explain Everything".

  17. In the recent update they have some changes in toolbar, by choosing pen another bar will appear below the original blue toolbar, which will take more space for drop-down and leave fewer space for writing. As someone who often have pop-up video view while writing, it’s make me have to work will less space and have to often move the pop-up around a lot. Why don’t they just put the addition pen bar close-able or just put them back in the blue bar originally. 🤷🏼‍♂️

  18. I believe it would be amazing if we could have a document such as a text document and be able to draw on top of it. Now with all the new updates you cannot do that except with text boxes. For example, when you are following a class and need to put explanations and grafs or anatomical drawings etc. you must switch from one doc to another or even from one app to another. I believe text boxes aren’t that practical.
    I saw notability has this option but I prefer Goodnotes so I’ll stick with you <3

  19. Please disable this automatic line changing or increase the limit of words for line change. It doubles the work as again we have to stretch the box to make while text appear in single line.

  20. i can see people use the tools in different sequences - I need the eraser to auto-deselect off pen menu when i
    ERASE then
    LASSO something, then go back to
    PEN to keep drawing or writing.
    right now it won’t deselect when i use a tool NOT in the pen menu
